I really think the bannings should be deserved. It seems like a lot of bannings are just for having posters not agree with what they're saying. You should at least be completely offensive to get banned. I think we would see a lot less "this post has been removed" if more attention was given to how severe the bannings are being given out.

I could not agree more. Very well said!!! This has happened to a couple of posters in the politics forum as well as the Red Sox forum. Anyone who is flagging and reporting posts to moderators just because they don't agree with what the poster is saying needs to rethink why they come to a discussion forum in the first place. If I don't like a certain poster I tend to just ignore them..but I've noticed that even though there is large disagreement on hot button topics..most people find something to agree about.

Thank you. I think posters are just taking out posters they don't like. It's really ridiculous seeing all the threads. You have to be able to debate on a forum - especially a sports forum. And tothink the forum is 99.9% guys, I would be embarrassed to be constantly complaining if I were them. I think they need to find the constant complainers, realize that they're just going to report everything, and maybe a sports forum is not for them instead of removing everyone they don't approve of. I just asked a poster who described my post as "wrath" what he actually meant, since my posts didn't reflect what he was saying. I'm guessing he's reported a few posts or more. Again, just guessing.

Good one, and they say women are catty!

So true! We women have to stick together. We're apparently the backbone of this board. lol

I can't use the edit button on posts. I tried to take some of the exclamation points out so it wouldn't be two lines, and it didn't work. I tried to add the guys that were able to get on base for the grand slam, and it didn't work.

Also, along with the edit button, I also don't have a report abuse button. Just noticed that. It appears another poster does, so it's not a universal problem. An innocent post I made in this thread to try and get a poster to leave my posts alone, was deleted within minutes of posting. You should be able to access it, and see it for yourself. Truly the report abuse button should work for all posters, so it wouldn't have to even be brought to this thread. Thank you.
